It Will Pay You to Heed Thistle time
for Fall planting of fruit trees is at hand, and
agents perambulating the rural districts solic-
iting orders and displaying colored pictures Of
mammoth apples, enormous pears, gigantic cur
rants and immense gooseberries. Many of those
glb-tongued chaps, if not the most of them, are
mere spectators, who take the orders at high
prices and afterwards purchase the trees for their
customers anywhere they can get them at cheap
rates, without caring whether they are the kinds
they profess to be or not. Some of these pretend
ed agents represent themselves as the employees Of
Canadian nurseries, such nurseries, in not a few
cases, existing only in the fertile imagination or
the snowy pictures of the agent Any one in
tending to plant fruit trees this Fall will do well
to obtain them of some we'll known, respectable
nurseryman and do not trust to perambulating
agents unless we'll vouched for

Those Wonderful Pumpkins Of Hake's.-
The Glen Rock Item of last week says: "Last week
our esteemed contemporary, The BALTIMORE CoUN-
rY UNION, published slightly sensational story
which was communicated by one of its correspon-
dents, who signs D., rejecting seriously not only
upon the veracity but incidentally upon the clear
headedness of one of York countys solid citizens,
Mr.. Frederick Hake, of Shrewsbury.
at is not unusual for man who is himself sus-
ceptible to the influence of the contents of a
"satchel" as here intimated, to imagine in his off
moments that those with whom he deals "see dou-
ble," and then being endowed with tired dispo-
siton as well as reckless regard for the Sth COM
mandment, such a one may easily fall into the
habit of drawing upon his imagination for facts.
We personally visited Mr.. Hake, and inspected,
not his "satchel," but his pumpkin vine, and to
our surprise we there % well matured pump
kins weighing about Ia lbs each, while one, which
Mr. Hake affectionately terms his baby, (Mr. Hake
is bachelor) matured in 10 days and weighs 81
lbs. We further saw from 20 to 80 smaller ones
and blossoms for from 20 to 40 more all on this
one vine. This is certainly remarkable yield
and we do not expect to hear of it being beaten
this year."

republicans Heard From-Enthusiastic
Maeetlng at the Court HouSe.-0ne of the
iar2est political meetings ever seen in Towsontown
was held at the Court House on Thursday night.
Inc weather was very incement, rendering it ex-
tremely disagreeable to be out of doors, yet this
ala not deter several hundred earnest men from
turning out to hear the issues of the campaign re-
viewed from Republican standpoint. Besides
those from the town and immediate surroundings,
o special train on the Maryland Central Railroad
Drought up many from Hampden and other points
along the road. Mr.. Joshua M. Matthews, of the
loth district, was made chairman of the meeting,
with long list of vice-presidents and secretaries.
The first speaker was Hon. Archibald Stirling,
Jr, who gave an extended and very interesting
review of elections in Baltimore city in the past
twenty years, laying bare the many garing frauds
that have been committed from time to time by the
Democratic party. He spoke particularly of the
election of Wednesday and the methods used to
bring about the result, telling his auditors that
Gen. Latrobe is much stronger man in the
city than Mr. Jackson, and that if the latter car
ried the city in November it would be by re-
duced majority. He referred to the fact that the
Republicans had carried one Legislative district
by over 500 majority and that this insured the
election of six members of the lower house and one
Senator in November, something that Republicans
throughout the State would have great reason to
be proud of it would break the heretofore solid
column Of the Democrats.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Sterling's address Gen.
Adam e. King was introduced and delivered the
finest political speech ever heard in the Court
House. He spoke for about one hour and a-half,
holding the close attention of his large audience
throughout. He paid high tribute to Mr.. Walter
b. Brooks and his associates on the State ticket
and referred in glowing terms to Mr.. S. Webster
Bradford, Republican nominee for Associate Judge
of this judicial circuit. He spoke of Hon. Steven
son Archer as "kicker," and said that when he
was an independent candidate for Judge he was
supported by Judge Waters, the present Demo-
cratic nominee. He paid his respects to Senator
German and gave brief sketch of his political
record and it would be drawing it very mild to
say that he handled the Democratic boss without
gloves. He showed by the figures that under the
management of German in this State the Demo-
cratic majority had been reduced $500 votes in
four years, and wanted to know how long it would
require, under the same kind of management, to
wipe out the majority altogether. The speech
throughout full of sharp and telling points
and well received.
At the conclusion of Gen. Kings address, it
being then about IL o'clock, the meeting adjourned.
Among those present were many of the candidates
on the Republican ticket.

tude and covering transactions from 1879 to 1882.

suffered in the meanwhile from i'll health, but he
has finished the account and is now working day
and night on his report, hoping to finish it short
